Is anyone working on a better grass hit sprite?

I feel the one in the game right now is just way to small. You can barely see the grass fly up when it is hit by a bullet. I propose making a sprite on the scale of Soldier Of Fortune 2's level. Anyone who has played that or currently has it go shoot the grass in that game and you'll see what I mean. Is it also possible to make a grass explosion sprite when a grenade explodes on the grass? The majority of forest is grass so I'm just curious. I love the way dirt flies up into that glorious cloud. Is it hardcoded? Thanks to anyone who makes one :D

Ask Cs42886, he's the sprite master.

Thanks guys!:D :D :D I'm not really that good, am I? Anyways, I was kinda hoping that someone would want me to make a new grass hit sprite. I'll get to work on it. I may have it done in an hour or so.:)

I've been hoping for a new grass sprite for some time, the default sprite is so small I barely even notice it. It'd be great if you made one that threw up a lot of grass and dirt, something kinda like your sand sprite would be cool.

I think there's a size limitation on grass sprites (and probably the other particle effects as well), because I just tried to make a sprite that stood 256x128 pixels high and it turned out tiny (even smaller than the default one, which is 64x64 pixels) ingame. Therefore, if I'm right, we can only make the grass sprite fatter than it already is or maybe a different color to stand out more against the ground.
